During this evening's storytime, children will have an opportunity to create a picture frame for that special someone. Children under the age of two years old will be provided an alternative craft. Supplies are limited.

Children love to get their hands dirty and April is a perfect month to start a garden. After a long day in the sun I like to relax by sitting down in my favorite chair and read a few books. Below are the books I picked this week to celebrate Spring. Enjoy.

Versatile, award-winning American author Kate DiCamillo writes well-crafted, often multilayered realistic fiction and fantasy stories for children. With both beautiful language and characters full of personality, her books are infused with a sweet tone and threads of humor; while not shying away from substantive themes. However, no matter what the story, DiCamillo weaves gentle humor throughout.

It’s hard enough trying to find food that the entire family will enjoy, but with the increased cost groceries, getting what you need at the store is a lot harder. Luckily, your family doesn’t have to live off of frozen foods or “boxed” meals, because the right cookbook can help whip that food budget back into shape. Below are a few of my recommendations for busy parents that want to serve real food to their family.

Most people, even children, know exactly what type of books they like. Some adore series, while others will follow specific themes, genres or authors. That being said, there are times in one’s life that you have a desire for something out of the ordinary…Something unfamiliar and fresh.

Children, who attended family storytime last night, celebrated the beginning of the spring season by making wands.

The family storytime program meets every Monday night, at 7:00 p.m. Children of all ages are welcome. Craft projects are often provided.

Coming up later this week, Ms Susan will be reading a few of her favorite books about spring. Toddler storytime is on Wednesdays at 10:00 am and 1:30 pm. Pre-school program is held on Thursday at 10:00 am. We hope to see you there.
